Adelina, the daughter of Italian immigrants, has inherited nothing but debts. As a single parent and with an income that is barely enough to live on, she struggles to get by in 1970s Switzerland until one day she meets Emil, a successful graphic designer. Lukas Bärfuss' book "Die Krume Brot" (The Crumb of Bread) impressively describes how poverty and debt consistently hinder the possibility of a good life. He will be talking about his book this evening with Stefanie Graefe, private lecturer at the Department of Political Sociology at the University of Jena.
